Abstract

A heat dissipating resistor grid has a frame including side members carrying blocks or panels of insulating material having cavities in their inner surfaces. The resistor element is a zigzag strip formed from individual flat lengths of resistance material, each length having offset ends in opposite directions, adjoining offset ends forming a sandwich with a conductive support strip which extends beyond the offset end and terminates in projections which mate with the cavities in the insulating material. The support strip may extend into the space between the adjoining strips of resistance material forming a heat sink therein. The projecting ends of the support strip may be flat lengths, may be cut into tabs, may be formed into hollow cylinders in one piece with the support strip, may be solid cylindrical studs affixed to the support strip, or solid rod bent into U-shape with the base inside the offset ends. The insulating blocks may fit into cutouts in the frame and locked there by lateral movement.

Description

This invention relates to resistors used for dynamic braking in diesel-electric locomotives. It is more particularly concerned with such a fabricated resistor grid assembly having a novel heat dissipating construction which makes possible the use of organic or other inexpensive insulation between the resistor element and the frame of the grid.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The braking of diesel electric locomotives conventionally involves the shunting of the motor terminals with a resistor or bank of resistors. When that is done, the motors, driven by the moving locomotives, act as generators and the current they generate passes through the shunt resistors. The resistor converts the current into heat which in turn must be dissipated. Conventionally the resistor comprises a folded or zigzag strip or strips of resistance material mounted in a metal frame. That strip may be a unitary fan-folded strip, as is shown in Kirilloff et al. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,109,526 and 4,651,124 or a fabricated zigzag strip such as is shown in Harkness U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,125 and 4,654,627.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Our invention utilizes a zigzag resistor element made up of individual strips of resistance material, each strip having an offset at each end in opposite directions. Each offset end portion is joined to the end of the adjoining strip offset in the opposite direction through a third strip element which projects between the offset ends and at its outside end is configurated to mate with a hole or cavity in a body of insulating material carried by the side element of the frame. This third element may be thicker than the resistor strip and may project inwardly so as to form a heat sink.

BEST MODE
In FIG. 1, the resistor strips 11--11, to be described hereinafter, are mounted in a frame having metal end pieces 12--12, one on each side, a top panel 13 and bottom panel 14. Those panels may be made of insulating material. Affixed to the inside faces of end pieces 12 are panels 15--15 of insulating material. Midway between panels 15--15 are a pair of insulating panels 16--16, spaced from each other and affixed to top panel 13 and bottom panel 14. The bottom ends of panels 16--16 are affixed to a metal plate 17, which has a downwardly extending tap 18 which projects through bottom panel 14. The resistor strips 11--11 at the upper ends are attached to end pieces 12--12; at their lower ends they are attached to metal plate 17. The lower ends of end panels 12--12 extend below bottom panel 14 into metal angles 20--20 which with tap 18 are the electrical connections of the grid. The resistor strips 11--11 are supported at their ends adjacent panels 15--15 and 16--16 by means carried by these panels, to be described hereinafter.
The resistor strips 11--11, which form a zigzag path between terminals 20--20 and tap 18 are fabricated from flat strips 22 of resistor material, each strip offset at one end 23, as appears in FIGS. 2 and 3 and offset at the other end, not shown, in the opposite direction. Its adjoining parallel strip 24, at its end 25 opposite end 23, is offset toward end 23. Between offset ends 23 and 25 we position a metal supporting strip or plate 27 which may exit at both ends parallel to strips 22 and 24 beyond those offsets. Outer end 28 of plate 27 is formed into a tab which fits into a mating recess 30 in insulator panel 15 or 16, as will be described hereinafter; inner end 29 may extend into the space between strips 22 and 24 of resistor material. Offset ends 23, 25 and strip 27 are joined, preferably by resistance welding, as indicated in FIG. 3. Tab 28 supports the resistor strip in its frame. Strip 27 may be made of thicker or more heat conductive material than resistance strips 22 and 24 and so acts as a heat sink to reduce the heat transfer from the resistor strip 11 to the panels of insulating material 15 or 16, and so makes feasible the use of less expensive insulating materials.
FIG. 4 illustrates a block 31 of insulating material adapted to receive tab 28 in a cavity 30 and FIG. 5 shows a metal end piece 12 adapted to receive a succession of blocks 31. Those blocks are formed with projections 32 along their sides which have aligned longitudinal channels or grooves 33 therein of a width sufficient to accept end pieces 12. Those end pieces 12 have rectangular openings 34, separated by cross members 36 with internally projecting extensions 35 on each side, spaced from each other so as to fill the spaces between projections 32 of block 31. The overall length of each block 31 is slightly less than the longitudinal dimension of each opening 34. After block 31 is moved broadside into opening 34, it is moved longitudinally sufficiently to cause extensions 35 to enter channel 33. Each member 36 has a small tang 37 projecting normal to that member, which tang is then bent over toward adjoining block 31 so as to prevent it from moving longitudinally in the opening 34. With that construction a damaged block 31 can be replaced without dismantling the entire grid, which simplifies maintenance of a grid utilizing brittle insulating material. With less fragile insulating material it is convenient to use a strip or panel 15, FIG. 1, of insulating material extending the length of the end pieces 12 and formed with cavities 30 mating with tabs 28 of the resistor element.
The tabs and cavities above mentioned may take other forms than those described above. FIG. 6 illustrates a flat tab 40 affixed to the offset ends of individual resistor strips 22 and 24 by a bolt 41 and a nut 42. FIG. 7 illustrates a flat tab 43 welded to its adjoining resistor strips and having its outer end formed into two cylindrical studs 44 which can be received by round holes in adjoining insulating material. FIG. 8 illustrates a flat tab 28, as described hereinabove, but with two cylindrical studs 46 affixed to its outer end by welding or riveting. FIG. 9 shows a flat tab 28 with its outer end subdivided into two rectangular projections 46 and 47 which fit into properly contoured spaced openings 48 and 49 in an insulating panel 15. FIG. 10 is similar to FIG. 9 but with the tab 28 subdivided into four projections 50 which would require four rectangular cavities in the insulating panel. In both FIGS. 9 and 10 the projections are shown as rectangular in cross section but they may be cylindrical, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
FIGS. 11, 12 and 13 illustrate yet another form of tab. Instead of a flat supporting strip 27 between offset ends 23 and 25 of the grid elements, those ends are each formed with a pair of longitudinal half channel depressions 52 and 53 which, when ends 23 and 25 are welded or otherwise fastened together, form two cylindrical sleeves. In those sleeves are inserted short lengths of round rods 55 so that they project beyond the outside ends of the grid elements and, if desired, into the space between resistor elements 22 and 24. The outer ends of rods 55 serve the same purpose as the studs 46 of FIG. 8 or cylindrical studs 44 of FIG. 7. The inner ends, if required, act as heat sinks in the manner of inner ends of element 29 in FIG. 4.
FIG. 14 is a modification of the articles of FIG. 13. The offset ends of the resistor strip are formed into a pair of longitudinal half- channel depressions 52 and 53, as before. A single U-shaped piece of rod 57 is formed with legs fitting into the cylindrical sleeves formed by the welded half channel depressions 52 and 53 and is inserted from the inside end of those sleeves so that its legs project from the outside ends of the sleeves a distance sufficient to engage mating cavities in the insulating blocks or panels hereinbefore described. The crossbar 58 of the U-shaped rod 57 forms a substantial heat sink.
In FIG. 15 the lengths of resistor material 11--11 form sandwiches at their offset ends with supporting member 28. The strips 11 are flat strips but are embossed at 60 to stiffen them.
In FIG. 16 multiple embossed and lanced strips of resistor material are sandwiched at each end with supporting member 28. Three strips, 61, 62 and 63, are shown welded at their ends to support member 28. Each strip is embossed at its end adjoining member 28 with indentation 60 and are lanced or severed between ends at 61--61, as are shown.
FIG. 17 illustrates diagrammatically how our invention may be embodied in a vertical grid resistor. The structure shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example, can be incorporated in a vertical grid, as indicated on the horizontal member 63-64 rather than the vertical members of FIG. 1.
